#2 X/uno fighting for mouse pointer

Using "Device" "/dev/input/mice" in the X server
configuration file causes both Uno and the X server to
fight for access to a "single button" mouse.

The problem must be split into two cases:
1) User has two mouse devices, one normal mouse plus
one "single button" mouse device.
2) User has only one "single button" mouse device.

In the first case can be solved by modifying the X
configuration file (ie. /etc/X11/xorg.conf) to use a
specific mouse, rather than the combined
/dev/input/mice device.
ie:
Section "InputDevice
Option "Device" /dev/input/mouse0"
EndSection
You will need to determine which mouse is which by
observing output from:
% sudo cat /dev/input/mouse0
% sudo cat /dev/input/mouse1

In the second case, It is assumed the user will restart
the computer to swap between a normal mouse (for
initial configuration) to "single button" mouse. This
means that the same device must be configured for both
the X server and Uno (this is also the default
configuration).

My suggestion on a solution is modify uno to move the
mouse pointer back to a default position after it has
"clicked" on something. Positioning over the Uno applet
may be appropriate.

If anyone has a better solution, please post in the
forum!
